Hi Not sure why Artem Mirolevich was selected for the dialogue here on Art Alchemy at Arts Park :Depth, Structure, and Transformation JUne 11, 2026 Hollywood Fla. .

Alchemy is a topic usually reserved for those who master/are well read on  the principles of metaphysics.

June 11th, 6-9pm  

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED

ART ALCHEMY

Depth. Structure. Transformation.

This special exhibition features internationally exhibited award winning artist Artem Mirolevich, acclaimed underwater fine art photographer Suzanne Barton, well known painter Alejandra Palacios. Selected through an honorary process by the City of Hollywood’s cultural leadership, these three artists have been brought together to create a unique artistic dialogue centered on depth, structure, and transformation.

For this exhibition, Artem Mirolevich will present eight large-scale paintings, all created within the past five years, representing some of his most recent explorations into memory, mythology, human consciousness, and the enduring mysteries of existence. His immersive works invite viewers to contemplate timeless questions: Who are we? Why are we here? What connects us across generations, cultures, and time itself? Through richly layered visual narratives, Mirolevich creates portals between reality and imagination, personal history and collective memory, the visible and the unseen.

The Haines Gallery opening for Andy Goldsworthy{ Red Flags July 10-30, San Francisco

 

Andy Goldsworthy: Red Flags

July 1 - 30, 2026

Opening Reception: Friday, July 10, 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM

Gateway Pavilion at Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture

2 Marina Boulevard, San Francisco, CA 94123

This summer, FOR-SITE presents Andy Goldsworthy: Red Flags, a site-specific exhibition by the internationally acclaimed artist, on view at Fort Mason’s Gateway Pavilion in partnership with Fort Mason Art. Marking the West Coast debut of Goldsworthy’s monumental installation Red Flags (2020), the exhibition features fifty 5 x 8-foot flags, each stained red with earth collected from one of the fifty US states.

Learn more at for-site.org

Originally hung in New York’s Rockefeller Center, the flags’ presentation at Fort Mason coincides with the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, reflecting on geographic and political boundaries, and on the ties between people, land, and nation. Rather than displaying emblems that differentiate each state, Goldsworthy’s flags ask us to consider what unifies them—and us.

Andy Goldsworthy: Red Flags is organized by FOR-SITE and presented with Fort Mason Art, with generous exhibition support from Haines Gallery, FOR-SITE’s Board of Directors, and the Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture. Installation services provided by Fides Industrial.‍ ‍

Andy Goldsworthy: For Olle


On view at Haines through July 3

Andy Goldsworthy: For Olle brings together a suite of related photographic works and a new clay sculpture made with kaolin clay. Dedicated to the artist's longtime friend and collaborator, Olle Lundberg, the show offers an intimate reflection on materiality and memory, loss and renewal.


At the heart of the exhibition are three photographic diptychs from Goldsworthy’s series Fallen Elm (2009–present), documenting ephemeral works made in relation to a single, fallen elm tree near the artist’s home in Scotland.

Robert Wyland responds to his Mural of Whale painted over in Dallas for the World cup with a lawsuit!!!!: see below

I met Robert  Wyland while he was painting a mural in Southern California. I think we were in Laguna. Wyland is  Noted for his "100 Whale Paintings" painted as murals. We were both fairly young. Wyland's passion for the environment, and  whales matched my own. For 30 or so years we would run into each other at art Fairs and events. IT was great to see Wyland grew in stature. In reading that his mural had been painted over for a world cup event I was dumbstruck. This was just wrong in my opinion. This week I was delighted to see Robert Wyland is suing the removal of his mural. See the below google search results: 

As per  a google search summary. : The Lawsuit: Filed in the U.S. District Court in Dallas, the suit alleges that defendants violated the federal Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990 (VARA), which grants artists legal rights to protect recognized public artwork from intentional destruction or alteration without prior notice or the artist's written consent( NYtimes )

I searched Posts Statement on Instagram: 
Painted in 1999, Whaling Wall #82 in downtown Dallas holds a unique history. Its initial unveiling was accompanied by a huge Texan celebration remembered fondly by Dallasites. Famously, Hersel Walker joined to dedicate this mural, marking its completion and significance to the city. 💙

Regarding this piece, @wyland said, "There aren’t whales in Dallas, but my whole concept with the project was to connect even landlocked cities to the ocean. We’re all connected to the sea, so if people see the beauty in nature, they’ll work to protect it and preserve it." 💬

We aren't sure exactly when it happened, but sadly, advertisers covered the massive whales with a large-scale ad. Whaling Wall #82 remained hidden until April 2020, when the pandemic shrunk budgets for these huge outdoor ads. Much to the delight of Dallas residents, the mural re-emerged from behind the advertisement and cemented its place as one of the city's hidden gems. 💎

You can find this mural at the Texas Utilities Building at 505 Akard Street in downtown Dallas. 🏙
